Mentoring on Grants and Research

A major priority for my work at KUMC focused on building the research capacity in departments and with faculty and staff under my responsibility. In the majority of circumstances, prior to my involvement, research was limited with these faculty and/or in these departments. To exemplify progress made in these areas, I’ve provided the table below to illustrate grant funding garnered by faculty and administrators (identified by an asterisk*) I have formally mentored to enhance their scholarship and professional development.
